Moreover, Margin requirement for non-hedged positions is the Initial Margin; Margin requirement for Locked Positions is calculated as a Hedged Margin. 6.12.2. When the check-up shows that the parameter Free (also called as Free Margin) does not drop under a set limit then the Account successfully passes the check-up of Margin requirements and new position is opened in the Account. This transaction is then written into a Server log and journal of Client Terminal. Confirmation of position opening is displayed to the Client in Order window and the new position appears in a list of Open Positions in the Trade window of Client Terminal. Required Margin is also reserved from the Account to maintain the position. Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority FRN: 595450 20
